About the Historic Home / Clubhouse: This pre-Civil War house is an example of Italianate architecture that was popular from 1840-1885. One of the few remaining houses in the downtown area built in this romantic Renaissance style, it was later modified with a wraparound porch and entrance.

The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the North Maney Avenue Historic Overlay District, and recognized by the Association for the Preservation of Tennessee Antiquities.
